The more that we escape from the realities of life, the more that we begin to isolate, and the more that we begin to distance ourselves from the basic necessity of human connection, and the more that we begin distancing ourselves from our own humanity.

In this episode of 'Forest Fires', John Clark tackles our society's love affair with escapism and its effects on addiction and recovery. Escapism isn't always bad; sometimes we all need a break.
